I am kind of far away.<BR/>Maybe I'll host a blog fest/paint out down here in Mexico one day.<BR/>I have not listened to La Catrina, but they play the chamber music festival here in San Miguel. There is another festival coming in August. Do you listen to them?<BR/>Yes, my daughter had a throat infection and fever, but she is better now, thanks for asking. Her last day of school was yesterday.<BR/>We have not seen The Black Stallion. Maybe that would be a good one for us to rent.

I can't do anything about your busting me on the heavily detailed left side of said painting, but I think I can get you on encouraging littering. <BR/>Erin is feeling much better thanks. She is really competing with me for wall space in our house. Now she wants frames like mine :/<BR/><BR/>Thanks Jack. Glad you like the N.E. paintings.<BR/>When to stop is a hard one amigo.
